While I don't discount the OP's premise outright, I have to disagree. I, like others, feel that TT has a better innate feel for the game. If he's ready to go, he has to start.

I'm in the market for a snowblower and seeking your comments and opinions about the models you've purchased. There are so many manufacturers, engine sizes and widths, it's all starting to blur together. I'd like to keep it $1,000 and below. I deal with PA winters. I have an approx. 12x90 foot driveway.

The "Jets West" scheme has neutered the disruptive pass rushing talent of the front four almost entirely. There are precious few sacks and interceptions.

"For example, let's have Bush regularly. Then, when the situation is right, we go Gay." That made me LOL in real life.

The hearings yesterday only reinforced my feelings of the last three Presidents and their cabinets. All ridiculously incompetent. We're lucky things aren't worse. We had a President who didn't want to see the emerging threat of al-Qaeda. We had a President who invaded Iraq for no good reason whatsoever with terrible consequences. We had another President hell bent on removing dictators in Egypt, Libya and Syria without any consideration of doubling down on the consequences of the previous President's actions. This isn't a Democrat or Republican thing for me. America has had over 20 years of really bad Presidents. We're all here despite such gross incompetency. Perhaps the United States is badass after all. To me, I'm appalled that the killing of a United States ambassador is nothing but a political circus. If this were a real investigation, you'd have lawyers asking questions not politicians and you'd fix it. For real.

Santana Moss. In shape as of training camp. He's old, yes. I find a trade unlikely. So, you either raid practice squads or do something radical like bringing in Santana Moss for a look-see.

Nobody wants a Bush or Clinton again. Regardless of party, I think America is sick of both of these families.

Yes.

People who make millions of dollars go out of their way to jeopardize their ability to make millions of dollars.

Bradham excels when the front four pressure the quarterback. Since we're not doing that this season, he's not as effective as he was last year.

Blitzing. It's what all the historically great NFL defenses did no matter what era they played in. Rush the goddamn passer relentlessly. It's not that hard of a concept.

The Patriots have the best intelligence behind the coaches in the league. You see the coaches on the sidelines but there are men and women behind them fueling all of the scouting, stats, tendencies, etc not only before the game, but during it. It is very rare to see the Patriots not make adjustments. Last night, didn't the second half feel completely different from the first?

IMO, EJ wasn't terrible. The defense and the defensive coordinator on the other hand ARE terrible.

I think we will all look back after the season and see this as a poor decision. His kicks obviously masked a crap special teams unit.

This defense sucks. See quarterback...get quarterback is the only scheme the front four need. But...suppose that's not cute enough of a scheme for Ryan and Co.

I don't see the signing and TT's injury situation related whatsoever. As others have stated, he's a good scout team quarterback and has previous experience with the Bengals. That's why he's here.

She's "cute" to me. Not sexy. She's a little girl. I think you need age categories for this stuff. Women like Diane Lane never lose their sexiness. Some are really into Helen Mirren, Sandra Bullock, etc.

You wonder if the next episode will flip flop between time. By the time you hear the horn, the battle for Alexandria is already underway. (Wolves show up after Rick and the gang leave.) Not the greatest tactical move for the Wolves if the case, a siege in front, and two forces (one human, one walker) on the flanks.

The Bengals are good - 5 wins is nothing to take lightly. That being said, the Seahawks were the first legitimate defense they saw all year. The Seahawks don't have the quality of pass rush + CB play the Bills "could" have. I say "could" because from one week to another you don't know what defense is going to show up. That's not on the players - that's a criticism of the coaches. I think they tend to out think the room instead of letting Pro Bowlers do what they do best.

If you want an interesting blueprint, watch the first half of the October 8, 2007 game vs. the Cowboys. The Bills rolled out a unique defensive look that worked well against the quick throwing Romo.

Undisciplined Bills lose. Disciplined Bills win. It's that simple this year. Bench anyone with a PF in any game going forward. Screw the pushups.

Making the helmets heavier with more padding and protection just means less concussions and more spinal injuries. Much like exploring improvements to modern combat helmets, you must address linear force impacts to the head AND neck.

Dan Carpenter isn't getting cut. Cundiff is here until the leg is 100% healthy. A kicker who's kicking with a bad leg is never going to get healthy. With the absolutely terrible kicking situation league wide this year, Cundiff gets a great opportunity to show what he's got for other teams.

I don't know - the 49ers are a weird tire fire from top to bottom. Could be a case of crap coaching like in Denver. "Peyton, you're a good quarterback from the shotgun but my plan doesn't have shotgun in it, so...."

Bernard Pollard time.
